Answer:

The numbers are 9, 19 and 76.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the second number and make it a variable, like x. Now let's find all the other numbers in terms of x.

The first number in terms of x:

x - 10

The second number in terms of x:

4x

If we add them all up, these 3 numbers in terms of x must be equal to 104, so:

x + (x - 10) + (4x) = 104 \\ x + x - 10 + 4x = 104 \\ 6x - 10 = 104 \\ 6x = 114 \\ x = 19

Now that we know the second number, we can find the other numbers since we already figured out their values in terms of x:

19 - 10 = 9

4 \times 19 = 76

The first number is 9, second number 19 and the third number 76.

Please check my answer : Find the equation of the line that has a slope of 8 and passes through the point (-3,4). I got y=8x-20
Paladinen [302]
The answer is y = -8x - 20. If you were to use y = 8x - 20 then you'd get 4 = -44, which, obviously, is not true. To fix it all you need to do is add a negative sign in front of the 8. y = -8x - 20.
